The only trick with using these kinds of scissors for fabric is the fraying issue.
If you're using a fabric that doesn't fray (scuba knit, neoprene etc) then it won't be as much of an issue.
If you were to use something like chiffon, silk, dance fabrics etc, they will fray something fierce.
I would recommend you did a simple top stitch, as over time and usage, it will start to split along the low points of the line. Even with something like scuba knit.
Does that make sense?
A cheeky trick with silk however, is that you can seal the edges by gently burning it. It curls over itself beautifully and will seal in the fibres.
Be super careful if you do this, and look up some tutorials first.
